WHAT. NO, I’M PERFECTLY CALM. THERE ISN’T TOO MUCH NOISE AND TOO MUCH PEOPLE AND TOO MUCH GOING ON TO THE POINT WHERE I’M A TAD OVERSTIMULATED AND STRESSED OUT. I’M TOTALLY OKAY. TOTES.

Conversations with Younger Selves – Willa
CONTEXT: Willa does really care about her family, and I feel like there is some residual guilt from how she treated them as a teenager. Kind of lashing out at her mother deserting the family and her dad/multitude of siblings (remember, she’s number 3 of 6) were caught in the crossfire, especially her sister, Emily,… Continue reading Conversations with Younger Selves – Willa
Good Mood
It might only be strange because I’ve been in such a weird headspace for the past couple of weeks. Work has been extra stressful, my anxiety’s been zooming all over the place, I haven’t been taking care of myself – so to suddenly be in this relatively good mood is very odd. Or it could… Continue reading Good Mood
Where I’ve Been
Yeah. It’s been a rough week. Feels like my anxiety has kicked into overdrive for a whole number of reasons. All which can be wrapped up in some sort of fear for the future and things that I have absolutely no control over. My brain’s a mess and my stomach feels like it’s been constantly… Continue reading Where I’ve Been
Getting Something Out There

I was so tired, and so crabby, and was trying really hard to provide good customer service without ripping someone’s head off. But I had run straight into a mental wall and was trying to scrape myself… Continue reading A Biting Mood
The News
Another ultra-relevant/unfortunately relatable song from Paramore, folks. All the news seems to do for me is cause my anxiety to skyrocket and, on worse days, send me spiraling. I keep telling myself that I can handle it, when the reality is it just makes things WORSE. And I’m not actually taking anything in except sheer… Continue reading The News
A Fine Line
It’s a slippery slope. But I’m getting better at it.
A Puddle of Emotions
I swear, I will get back to Drawtober eventually. I just needed to get this out of my head. Long story short: I got the job. Starting the week after next, I will be a full-time library circulation aide at a different branch in the system. And I have a lot of feelings about it.… Continue reading A Puddle of Emotions
Unfinisher
Whaaaaat? This isn’t based on my own personal experiences with reading. I haven’t the SLIGHTEST idea what you’re talking about. Side note: I’ve been trying to draw more of my other characters recently, just for some variety.
